HAZARD IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This is a colorless, nonflammable gas mixture which is odorless or which has an acrid odor (due to the presence of Carbon Dioxide). Exposure to Carbon Monoxide (a component of this gas mixture) is harmful in relatively low concentrations, and severe over-exposures can cause headaches, nausea, collapse, and death. Other potential health hazards associated With this gas mixture include oxygen deprivation and over-exposure to Carbon Dioxide (which can result in dizziness, breathing rate increase, nausea, dizziness, headache, mental confusion, increased blood pressure and respiratory rate), Carbon Monoxide is a reproductive toxin, A cylinder rupture hazard exists when this gas mixture, which is under pressure, is subject to heat or flames. SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ]ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant mute of over-exposure for this gas mixture is by inhalation. The following, paragraphs describe they symptoms of exposure, via route of entry. INHALATION: One of the most significant hazards associated with this gas mixture is the potential for over- exposure to Carbon Monoxide. Inhalation of Carbon Monoxide can be harmful in relatively low concentrations. Severe over-exposures May be fatal. Effects of exposure to Carbon Monoxide can be summarized as follows, CARBON MQNOXID CONCENTRATj SYMFMM OF EXPOSURE All exposure levels., over-exposure to Carbon Monoxide can be indicated by the lips and fingernails turning red. 200 ppm: Slight symptoms (headache, discomfort) after several hours of exposure. 400 ppm: Headache and discomfort experienced within 2-3 hours of exposure. 1,000 -2000 ppm: Within 30 minutes, slight palpitations of the heart occurs. Within 1.5 hours, there is a tendency to stagger. Within 2 hours, there is mental confusion, headaches, and nausea, 200-2500 ppm: Unconsciousness within 30 minutes. >2500 pprn: Potential for collapse and death before warning symptoms are ptoduced. Carbon Dioxide, another component of this gas mixture, is an asphyxiant and a powerful cerebral vasodilator. If the concentration of Carbon Dioxide reaches 10% or more, suffboation can occur within minutes. At concentrations between 2 and 10%, Carbon Dioxide can cause nausea, dizziness, headache, mental confusion, increased blood pressure and respiratory rate. Carbon Dioxide initlally stimulates respiration and -then causes respiratory depression. High concentrations result in narcosis. Repeated inhalation of low concentrations (3-5%) have no known permanent harmful effects, This gas mixture can also cause symptoms of Oxygen deprivation (asphyxiation) when present in high enough concentrations to significantly lower oxygen concentration, Individuals breathing such an atmosphere may experience symptoms which -include headaches, ringing in ears, dizziness, drowsiness, unconsciousness, nausea, vomiting, and depression of all the senses. It should be noted that before adverse health effects or suffocation could occur the effect of overexposure to Carbon Monoxide or Carbon Dioxide may be felt. OTHER POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS, Moisture in the air could lead to the formation of carbonic acid from the Carbon Dioxide present in this gas mixture, which can be irritating to the eyes. HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms. Over-exposure to this gas mixture may cause the following health effects. ACUTE: Inhalation of this gas -mixture can be harmful or fatal. Symptoms of over-exposure can include respiratory difficulty, headaches, shortness of breath, wheezing, headache, dizziness, Indigestion, nausea, and Ups and fingernails turning cherry red. At high concentrations, unconsciousness or death may oc=r. Contact with rapidly expanding gases (which are released under high pressure) may cause frostbite. CHRONIC: Carbon Monoxide is a reproductive toxin. Refer to Section 11 (Toxicological Information) of this MSDS for further information.

HANDLING AND STORAGE WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES; Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue; exposures to fatal concentrations of this gas mixture could occur Without any significant warning symptoms (due to oxygen deficiency). STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: Cylinders should be stored upright (with valve-protection cap in place) and firmly secured to prevent failing or being knocked over. Cylinders can be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected against extremes of weather and from the dampness of the ground to prevent rusting. Cylinders should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas away from source * s of heat, ignition, and direct sunlight, Keep storage area clear of materials that can bum. Do not allow area where cylinders are stored to exceed 52 °C (1251117), Store containers away from heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. Store away from process and gas production areas, elevators, building and room exits, or main aisles leading to exits. Protect cylinders against physical damage. Keep the smallest amount ori-site as is necessary. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated, Use a first-in, first: out inventory system to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time. Use a check valve in the discharge line to prevent hazardous backflow. Never tamper with pressure relief devices in valves and cylinders. SPECIAL PIRF-CAUTIONS FOR HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS- Compressed gases can present significant safety hazards. The following rules are applicable to work situations In which cylinders are being used: Before Use: Move cylinders with a suitable hand truck. Do not drag, slide or roll cylinders. Do not drop cylinders or permit them to strike each other. Secure cylinders firmly, I-eave the valve protection cap (where provided) in place until cylinder is ready for use. During Use: Use designated CGA fittings and other support equipment. Do not use odapters. Use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand pressures to be encountered. Do not heat cylinder by any means to increase the discharge rate of the gas mixture from the cylinder. Do not use oils or grease on gas-handling fittings or equipment. Leek check system with leak detection solution, never with flame. Immediately contact the supplier if there are any difficulties associated with operating cylinder valve. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve, casing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove overly fight or rusted caps. Never strike an arc on a compressed gas Cylinder or make a cylinder part of an electric circuit After Use: Close main cylinder valve. Valves should be closed tightly. Reinstall gas-tight dust cap on the cylinder outlet. Replace valve protection cap. Mark empty cylinders "EMPTY. STANDARD VALVE CONNECTIONS FOR U.S. AND CANADA: Use the proper COA connections, DO NOT USE ADAPTERS: THREADED: CGA 350 PIN-INDEXED YOKE, Not applicable. ULTSA HIGH INTEGRITY: Not assigned, NOTE: Use only DOT or ASME code cylinders designed for compressed gas storage. Close valve after each use and when empty. Cylinders must not be recharged except by or With the consent.of owner. PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures). Make certain application equipment is looked and tagged-out safely. Purge gas handling equipment with inert gas before attempting repairs. Always use this gas mixture in areas where adequate ventilation is provided.
